Yes, you can record a show on one channel and watch another show on another channel. Or you can record a show on one channel and "chase" it, i.e. come home when you've recorded the first half of the show and start watching at the beginning.Or you can watch an already recorded show while recording a show. --Lee Gold

yes we can watch one channel and record another. and we love our magnavox. so if you want to watch another program while recording, use input through tv antenna.

The Channel Master DVR+ is designed for use as an OTA (over the air) antenna based DVR. It is an excellent product, it's only limitation is it receives and records channels that can be received with an antenna. The channels in question are subscription cable channels and as such, are not received by a normal TV antenna set up. You will be amazed at what you can get with a quality antenna. We are well pleased with the over 55 channels we receive, many in HD. No compressed signals or sound, EXCELLENT PICTURE. This DVR records HD and SD TV, and also has the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward TV. I have a 1TB Seagate USB drive plugged into it, which provides over 100 hours of HD recording capability. Now the best part, No monthly rental fees !!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps.

no idea, you can record all the channels but you will not be able to look at each one in full screen on a DVR. The unit record up to 30 days so no need to record on another DVR ?

Yes you can . This unit is digital as well and you can use it for your tv turner. P.s. I have had a new issue. Tv channels and shows know about these recorders and they are putting show type of digital signal that wont allow you to record all show. It happen to me watching welcome back cotter. , Family ties, the cosby show but most tv shows are record-able.

Yes, you can; however, I don't think you can press record while on a current program and then change the channel. I think you have to schedule the recorder but be on the channel you want to watch before the time of the recording. We get our channels over-the-air; so, don't know how it works with cable or satellite.

Yes. This product can record both OTA and cable channels. This include the digital cable channels that have HD contents.

Yes, but you have to use your TV to watch the one channel while this box records the other.

This unit will actually have two tuners. So it will be capable of recording two things at once just like the DirecTV units. Which means that unless you need to record two things while watching a 3rd live program, there will be no need to split the cable and use your TV or VCRs tuner.Da

If you want to be able to record one program while watching another, you sort of need a tuner. I am using my converter box that I saved when I switched to HDTV.

As far as I know you can only record one channel at a time. However, I did own an XMP3 and I returned it. Didn't like the pure Xm programming and I have been using Sirius for four years prior to that. The Sirius programming is better I thought.

No, unfortunately you have to keep the tv tuned to the channel you are recording. I found out while trying to record a program for class while watching the news. Luckily a classmate had also recorded the program so I could watch it.

Two shows but if you record two you won't be able to watch another (third) show. You can record two shows and watch a previous recorded show while the two are recording.

Yes, that is a very good attribute about this piece of equipment. In fact, it will record 4 different programs while you are watching a 5th program on a different channel. The hook-up process is challenging, but once it's working, it's wonderful.

It will record what can be viewed on your TV. So if you don't have cable, just an antenna, it can record those stations.

It will record two programs at the same time. Obviously on two different channels. We do it all the time.

I'm not at my dvr at the moment - but you can record audio on at least channels 1 and 2. I do not believe audio record is available on the other 14 channels. For channels 1 and 2 you can add a microphone to the cameras and connect to the dvr.

I don't know about the antenna hook up.But yes you can record a program on it.
